Inventor: FUKUSHIMA MINORU
IPC: H01R12/57
Filed: 1990-07-18
Abstract: Disclosed is an improved board-surface mounting type electric connector whose pin terminals (2, 3) are designed to be soldered to a printed circuit pattern by their tail sections (6, 9). Each tail section (9) is composed of a soldering portion (11), an intermediate stepwise joint (10) and a non-soldering portion (12). The soldering portion (11) of the tail section is laid on the printed board, and the non-soldering portion is laid on an isolation wall (16) at a level higher than the printed board, thus leaving space between the printed board and the non-soldering portion available for printing desired circuit patterns. Connector housing may have at least one stopper to abut on the upper surface of each soldering portion for preventing it from rising, thereby keeping each soldering portion stable in position.

Abstract: In order to be able to feed wooden staves (2) into, for example, a planing machine, from a pack or stack (1) of wood placed close to the feeding table (18) of the machine tool, and for this feeding to take place in step with the working capacity of the machine, according to the invention there is used a method by which a clamping aggregate (6) with clamping jaws (7) is lowered over the upper layer of the stack (1) and is clamped around said layer, after which the layer is raised and released from the clamping jaws (7), whereby it falls down on to a support (9) from which the adjacently-lying articles (2) are pushed down on to a chute (17) by means of the pushing de­vice (10). 
     The distance between the stack (1) and the feeding table (18) is hereby reduced to the horizontal length of the chute (17), and since the articles (2) are exposed only to a sideways pushing effect, they will not turn on the support (9) or the chute (17). It is hereby ensured that the articles are always correctly oriented at the inlet to the machine tool, so that the waste of material or erroneous machining is avoided.

Abstract: A sample (16) with a cut (18) is mounted by clamps (14) between a stationary bar (10) and a movable bar (12). A motor driven cam (22) reciprocates the movable bar causing the samples to undergo cyclic deformation. A camera (C) is selectively positionable (B) to view each of the plurality of samples. A computer control (D) determines a cut length (60, 62, 64, 66) from each two dimensional electronic video image representation and stores it in a cut data memory (68). The next sampling time for each sample is calculated (72) generally in proportion to an inverse of the cut growth rate. The sampling order is re-ordered after each measurement and stored in a queuing table (78). A driver circuit (86) causes a motor (40) to position the camera in the appropriate positions to image the samples in the order indicated by the queuing table.

Abstract: A word processing system is disclosed in which a text stream is stored on a direct access storage device (DASD) for recall and editing. The text stream is organized into a document, which is stored on the DASD as a data set. The data set consists of an index portion and a portion containing text records. The index portion is divided into nodes, of which the primary node is called the root node. 
     Status indicators (395, 304) at the data set and volume level are defined and maintained so that access to a data set for normal system operations may be prevented when there is a significant chance that the data set index has errors or is inconsistent to the extent that the normal high-performance access method routines may not be able to use the index or may cause inadvertent loss of valid text data for the system operator. 
     Finally, recovery mechanisms (525-540) are disclosed in which all of the data on the volume that can possibly be located by means of volume and data set indexes is restored for operator use after abnormal terminations during complex data set index updates or when intermediate nodes in large data sets are lost due to storage media input physical errors.

In a specific embodiment, an optical communication system including a doped optical fiber amplifier such as, for example, an erbium doped amplifier, is provided with an amplifier pump which operates at approximately 1.48µm. The amplifier pump is provided with excess power so as to transmit telemetry information. In a specific embodiment, the telemetry signal can be detected with a low cost photodetector (54) at a subsequent station.

Abstract: 2.1 In known electrodes, a platinum wire is fused to a silver wire and this unit is sealed into a glass tube in the platinum wire region. The sealing point must be cooled in a stress-free manner in order to avoid glass breakage during temperature change and mechanical loading, which makes the process expensive. The new electrode is intended to be insensitive to temperature change and at the same time have a high polarisation stability. 2.2 In each electrode (10), which has a hollow body (20), first and second sealed ends (30, 40) and a chamber (60), the silver electrode is at least partly a coating (50) of the internal surface, bounding the chamber (60), of the hollow body (20).

Abstract: Applicants have discovered that by growing germanium-silicon alloy at high temperatures in excess of about 850° C and increasing the germanium content at a gradient of less than about 25% per micrometer, one can grow on silicon large area heterostructures of graded Ge x Si 1-x  alloy having a low level of threading dislocation defects. With low concentrations of germanium (.10≦ x ≦.50), the heterolayer can be used as a substrate for growing strained layer silicon devices such as MODFETS. With high concentrations of Ge (.65 ≦ x ≦ 1.00) the heterolayer can be used on silicon substrates as a buffer layer for indium gallium phosphide devices such as light emitting diodes and lasers. At concentrations of pure germanium (X=1.00), the heterolayer can be used for GaAs or GaAs/AlGaAs devices.
